In all, this is an incredible upgrade of a beloved store. “The community of Rice Lake means the world to me – this is where Blain’s was born,” says Jane Blain Gilbertson, Owner and President, Blain’s Farm and Fleet. “My dad, Bert and Uncle Claude opened this store in August of 1955, it has been home to rich traditions and memories for more than 60 years now. It is my mission to continue the family legacy that started 62 years ago while also growing and changing with the times. The communities we serve have always been at the heart of our success. Blain's Farm and Fleet takes great pride in enhancing the lives of our Midwestern shoppers by offering top quality merchandise at fair and honest prices everyone can afford.”

Loyal store associates are excited by all of the great changes in their store and they are looking forward to sharing them with their friends and neighbors during this exciting Rice Lake Remodel Celebration. “My family has been doing business with the Blain’s family since the 1930’s,” says Tom Bednarek, a Rice Lake store associate. “They started out trading firewood for a vehicle at the Blain’s dealership and later, Bert sold my grandfather his first McCormick milking machine, a new product on the market at that time. My dad (Don) has told many stories of our family’s relationship with the Blains. For three generations, we’ve felt a great deal of loyalty and respect for them.”

This event may mark the introduction of a remodeled store, but they still offer the same fair and honest value on which the company was founded. Blain’s remains one of the few retailers committed to both selling and servicing small engine equipment as introduced decades ago by Founder, Bert Blain. Farm and Fleet continues to uphold Bert’s mantra for customers and employees alike: “If it’s in our store, it’s going to be quality. No gimmicks, no tricks, no cheap, shoddy workmanship - just the top brands at great Blain’s prices.”
